    Look out for those flavored varieties! I like the Mori-Nu too though it doesn't hold up so well in stir fries, unless you freeze &/or press it first. Mori-Nu is the only one I find at all palatable without cooking though. (In salads, &c.) Leah

    Don't have it myself, but there is a thread on Candida. Did you try searching for it? Leah Found it: Open Original Shared Link

    I'd highly recommend checking out Bette Hagman's books, also Annalise Roberts & Carol Fenster. There are several recipes specifically designated for mixes, but you can also adapt other favorites easily. Just remember NOT to put yeast in any mix as it will expand before its time! Also a tip for buying gluten-free flours inexpensively-- check your...

    Why doesn't everybody do this? I wish we had a Wegmans. They'd certainly have my business. Leah

    Curiouser & curiouser! Folks, I think this is the explanation. I've been braless since this morning, & look ma, no pain! Why I didn't try this before, I don't know-- I guess it just didn't occur to me that such a thing was possible. Especially at my age! I mean, I've had pretty regular periods-- heck, I've had twins! & I'm not missing...

    I bake my own breads, so I have no specific info on this brand. But I can tell you that as far as food safety goes, bread is pretty stable so you don't have the kind of refreezing issues that you might with other foods. You'll probably end up with a slightly drier loaf, but I doubt you'd have any more worrisome issues. (Unless the bread contains onions...

    Congratulations on getting your son tested! You have done him a huge favor for life. It's crazy that doctors are so resistant to testing, but thanks to people like you, maybe they will learn eventually that parents do know their own kids!!! I don't know if you are willing to do some baking, but if you are, Bette Hagman's books are full of delicious treats...

    Actually I tried to search for this & found that drywall is the main issue... but I think you said plaster, right? In case it does apply, here's a link: Open Original Shared Link Leah

    Hmmm, someone posted recently that some paint, plaster & such can contain gluten. Could you have been inhaling something that made you ill? Leah (Mind you the tiredness & PMS would have been enough for me!)

    I'm glad my dh got that worry taken care of when he had his hernia operation! (Doc, while you're in there....) Otherwise I would be freaking out, believe me! I can't afford 2 kids in college, gluten-free flour, new pots & pans AND a baby!!! Leah
  11. queenofhearts
    Yes, that is exactly the feeling-- the full-up sensation! (No milk, but my kids are 19!) I've just decided to go braless today (I work at home so this is an option) & see if any of the discomfort was from compression... so far it does feel a little better. Hmmm. Leah

    This gluten-free thing is just one surprise after the other! This is a real doozy! Leah

    I was glad for my official diagnosis, mainly because it helps other people take the diet seriously. Somehow self-diagnosis is perceived as self-indulgence by a lot of folks. It's hard enough as it is getting my family to be careful about cross-contamination; it would be harder if they thought this was just a flaky notion of mine. Official diagnosis also...

    The stuff that's in my cupboard now was a supermarket buy, but from Modena. Not super-pricey. I have had the ambrosial aged stuff though... I'd eat it every day if my kids would only agree to forego their college educations! Leah

    If there is a Whole Foods there, you could try that. They're expensive though. If you cook from scratch, look for an Asian grocery. They have all sorts of gluten-free flours SO much cheaper than other stores. Leah

    I don't take any estrogen, & I haven't added a whole lot of soy to my diet, but I suppose I could be getting a little bit more than before. I bake most of my gluten-free stuff from scratch, & haven't used any soy in the recipes I've made, but I'll check crackers & so on to see if there might be some in there. Leah

    That's my policy too. I only use the scrubby sponges for stubborn pots & pans & then I launder those too. Just wanted to make sure the laundering was doing the job! Thanks, Leah

    I do drink coffee, but always have, so that hasn't changed. I'll try cutting back & see if it helps. Leah

    Bette Hagman has a slew of cookbooks in her Gluten Free Gourmet line. TGFG Bakes Bread & TGFG Makes Dessert are the two I decided to buy, but the whole series is useful. Annalise Roberts Gluten-Free Baking Classics is great for sweets. Carol Fenster's Cooking Free is my latest acquisition. Her "cracked wheat" bread is yummy! (Made with brown rice...

    I thought it was okay except for acidic food? I'm using this for breads, &c.

    Wow, Lister, that's great news! You are inspiring me to eat more eggs. Leah

    Hmmmm... maybe what I need is a bra fitting! This never occurred to me before, but now that I think of it, when I take off my bra at the end of the day it IS a relief... How bizarre! Did you gain weight? I've gained a couple of pounds, but not enough to have made a difference, I would have thought-- but maybe it's all going to my boobs! (My husband would...

    That's so true. When my MIL was in the hospital after a heart attack, they brought her Swedish meatballs!!?? It was a mistake, but all too typical of my family's experience. When my husband was in the hospital, we used to joke, "Did you get the beige plate or the brown plate today?" Mind you, he had no dietary restrictions, but they still served him ...

    WHAT!!!??? Really? I think I'm WAY too old for that to be happening (I'm 50) but I do feel that "swollen" feeling... reminds me of when I was pregnant actually, but THAT is NOT a possibility. Leah

    Are you recently Gluten-free? I'm just curious if it's a transition thing...
